I think alarm.com has scheduleds in their system. It's a pretty common feature for intrusion alarms. You will need to change a few things in programing to make it work. Schedules typically close (arm) in PM and open (disarm) in AM.

I'm with you mark, in my home. My house autoarms everynight and if I disarm it will auto rearm all night until 7am. If someone disarms after 7am then it will not attempt to auto rearm until my auto arming is scheduled to start again.

Commercial installations can pose some challenges such as people working late while the system begins to arm, or custodial services getting there late, disarming and not rearming after auto armed.

Residential auto arm challenges could be something like pets left inside and the system, with old technology interior detection, auto arms in the away mode

Maybe a feature that signals failure to arm, or arming outside a scheduled time, or a Central Station opening/closing rule that generates a call when a closing does not occur or an arming occurs when it shouldn't.

I use Total Connect to alert me when my elderly mother's alarm system is not armed by 10PM or disarmed by 8AM each day. I get a text message and then I check on the website or app to see if the condition is true.
